I'm no more the same after getting out of the hospital yesterday. I regained my good humor and my optimism.

Contrary to my fears, the examinations were very positive. The cancer has stopped growing and all vital functions run smoothly. I should not have listened to the urologists who talked to me of an extension of the cancer toward the bladder. This is often the problem when dealing with several SPs who don’t agree with each other I

For years I had to deal with the medics, either as patient or as builder and manager of clinics. I should have known that medicine is not an exact science and that the social status, origin, age, character and professional position of a doctor should always be taken into account in assessing the quality and the safety of his diagnosis. Docs are like other men, nor worse, nor better. That's what I forgot!

A big thank you to all those who have supported me with their comments. You were right, the trials are there to test our strength and I shouldn’t lost so quickly my self confidence !

I certainly will remember the lesson, thanks a lot...
